Ibis Styles Hotels in Aix-les-Bains

I am writing this review in the dark on a picnic table because there is only 1 light in the room and it is a pendulum light in the corner next to the bed. I guess they want to save on electricity. The rest of the room is dark. I would really like to get out of here and find a better hotel. If I could leave at this very moment I would. This hotel is OK but not if you are on business and I am stuck here all week. For what they are charging, there is no desk, no refrigerator no microwave, no Ice, no laundry facility, no shuttle service and very little lighting in the room. However, the AC is good, the wifi is good, the bed is comfortable and it is very quiet here. The breakfast buffet is nice and the staff were friendly. My room came with an extra bed and a nice private balcony. Since there was no desk in the room, I removed the picnic table from the balcony and brought it into the room and it now serves as my workstation but I need more light in here. One pendulum light just doesn't do it! A bottle of water at the front desk is 4.50 Euros. The front desk offers snacks at outrageous prices. $10.00 Euros for a slice of pizza and $5.00 Euros for a hot dog. This is the kind of hotel that will nickel and dime you to death. They give you nothing and charge you for everything. Although I have no interest in this, they call it a spa but the facilities here look like they have seen better days and are worn out and are spent. There is really nothing within walking distance. It is remote and the only things nearby are a grocery store and a pizza shop. If you want a pet friendly hotel than this is the place for you. If you are on a business trip then go somewhere else. This hotel is so wrong for me I wish I was booked somewhere else. I will never come back here again I will avoid all Ibis hotels like the plague for all of my future business trips.
